Well spotted, they both featured in the (sadly deceased) Retro Car magazine - together ;D

I've seen this car in the flesh at a soggy Austin-Rover Gaydon meet up earlier this year. Looks and sounds gorgeous!

Hi Malcolm,
what are these like to drive, handling etc? and to own, both standard and modded?
Must be decent since you got two, don't see any these days.
|
| |
 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Thanks for the compliments ;D The car does look good and sound awesome (twin-pipe 'loud' exhuast system). Standard cars are a bit soft, nothing some decent shocks and uprated springs can't fix though. Standard brakes are poor too and I'd always uprate, even on a standard car. Once these are sorted they are a good sporting drive and very comfortable to sit in. 2 litre cars aren't very quick by modern standards but the RV8 soon sorts that out  Malcolm. |

Excellent work,..
I have always had a soft spot for these since I used to walk past a mustard yellow one every day on the walk back from school (many years ago!) ...
A car with much potential, I'm suprised we don't see more around here.
